No hard science background (BA in political science). As for my credentials, I was in the top 2% at a T50 and transferred to a T14. No LR (was not invited at old school and did not bother trying at new school).

I didn't apply directly. Apparently they received a copy of my resume through my school's career services office and liked it enough to give me a call.

Not any of the previous posters, but I have strong ties to PA (aka I'm from there) and am above median at T10 and BB Palo Alto has no interest in interviewing me. So they must be looking for something pretty specific. I wouldn't characterize this as "everyone should mass mail them cause they're desperate for people."

Well...everyone should still apply. Even if you're not what BB is looking for, it's better to apply and get dinged than to miss out on an opportunity. Any open position should be characterized as "everyone should massmail" if "everyone" = "people without job offers".

You know I have heard from people that the career services office will reach out to certain people and tell them about opportunities.

That hasn't happened to me thus far this year.

I've met with my counselor, and expressly asked if any opportunities arise to inform me.

If you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose. I mass-mailed hundreds of firms after striking out at OCI and I've received hundreds of letters and emails dinging me. It's disheartening, but I'm going to let a firm be the one to tell me "no." In the end, I received an offer to join a V5 for the summer. I would have never dreamed I'd end up at such an amazing firm, but I applied anyway. Spend the two minutes to email them your information.

Was that this year?

Yes.

Congratulations... now that is impressive. Hopefully this also quiets some of the "if you did not get a job, it is probably your fault" crowd at TLS. Btw, you are not the only one I hear of getting nothing but a V5 offer from firms.

Is it currently too late in the game to get an offer from a Vault firm?
